Integrated Service Engineering (ISE)

Service Engineering comprises many different aspects of defining and creating a service. This especially applies to the Internet of Services (IoS) domain as it is understood by Texo, where services are not limited to a certain web service technology, abstraction level of functionality or application domain. In this context, service providers are increasingly forced to cooperate to strengthen their core competencies and to create partner networks to offer new services. In order to facilitate the collaboration process, business ecosystems are built which allow service providers to offer their own, as well as combined, electronic services with other providers over the Internet. In Texo, the Integrated Service Engineering methodology (ISE) has been developed which provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and model-driven approach to electronic service development in business ecosystems. One major aim of ISE is to integrate business as well as technical stakeholders in the electronic service development process and support them with appropriate models, methods, and tools.
